Martin Regan Dove Masques for Every Day Wear

Annotation

Life damages everyone. Childhood trauma persisting for decades, love which wasn't, choices, mistakes...consequences. This is all intertwined with the joy, friendship, and contentment, which is also life. Masques, is a photo album made up of snapshots of prose. It is sad, sometimes cynical, wry with a dollop of wisdom, and a testament to the life of the author. A life which is not greatly different than all lives, in that everyone experiences these emotions. This book hi-lights insecurities and confidence; the wonder of friendship and the grief of love lost, all juxtaposed over every day living. It shows how broken hearts mend if you allow them to. It promotes a philosophy of kindness, in a world where kindness is encouraged, but often times not followed. It is hope in darkness. It is human.
